Very Tree-form which leaves me with answers suggested to digest and create something a new.

There can be a "community of one" and that community of one can merge with nature becoming so much more. Wonderful poem, and art, Jason!

The chatting that must go on around trees, the roots, the leaves, the bark. We are paupers in isolation by comparison. thanks

What a beautiful sentiment, Weston! Yes, trees with their leaves and roots understand communication in ways we are blind to

Oak trees, my favorite. They are everywhere in Kentucky. They support so much life, butterflies, moths, wasps, flies, beetles,even bats love Oak trees. Your poem, and your At haveh a sweet childlike grasp of one of the most important trees as far as my eyes can see. Thank you

Thank you! Oak trees are splendid trees. Where I live in Salem, Oregon was once an oak savannah, with a few varieties of oaks supporting a fantastic ecosystem. Now most of the oaks are gone.

My daughter lives in Vancouver Washington, so I've been to Oregon as well.. That whole area of the country feels and looks like another world to me. Beautiful.
